Organic Digital Imaging (http://www.organicdigitalimaging.com)

Hello all,

I am nearing completion of my page. It works fine in IE versions, and all pages except my main.htm work in netscape.

I believe that my problem is that the javascript i am using for my news sectin of the main page is only IE compatable.

I may be wrong but does anyone know of another script (preferably shorter) that has the same or even similar effect?

Any help is appreciated

Hi Skitz,

Sure, there's a dreamweaver extension that can create the same scrolling effect as that, and it works in Netscape.

If you're using DW then you can get the extension via Macromedia's site, otherwise you should be able to lift the code from this site here >> www.al-themovie.com (I made it so you have permission.

Thanks for the replies,

Thanks Scoutt its appreciated

Jon, its funny that you are on htmlforums repling to my post. your page is a major source of inspiration to remodel my page to what it is now. I really liked the way it flowed, and I wanted mine to do the same.

thanks again you two

Wow...you're good.

Ummm...just so you know, it doesn't appear that you have any pre-load script (although I thought I saw a piece of code titled pre-load) working.

Skitz - Cheers!

You mean, even before you posted this message you'd seen my site? That's quite a coincidence.

How did you find it?

quietstorm I havent put any thought into preloading my images, do you think it will help? I am not quite sure what preload script I might have in my page already though.?.

Jonirvine, I did a google search for webdesign forums before I had even found htmlforums.com, somehow I managed to stumble upon your site. I am still trying to come up with a graphic to go down the right hand side of my page, inspired from the tiled graphic you had for you splash image on your older page. It is the same image you have on the upper left side of the page now.. I have tried a good 15 times, and still no luck at making it tile quite so smoothly.

From yoour nav frame:
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0; i<a.length; i++)
if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}

That;s what you have.....just mentioned that I saw the "preLoad", although I can't see what that would do (I'm not too great w/JS). Just add this to preload (change to you file names...add as you need):

<script>
//pre-load
Image1 = new Image()
Image1.src = "graphdescrip.gif"

Image2 = new Image()
Image2.src = "homedescrip1.gif"

Image3 = new Image()
Image3.src = "portdescrip.gif"
</script>

That's from what I'm working on right now, so those file names are mine, of course. You can continue to add in the same fashion.

Skitz - That's kinda cool, that you found my site by chance!

I'm chuffed that you are using it as inspiration!

quietstorm/Skitz - The preloader JavaScript would have been insert automatcially by Dreamweaver. The only reason you'd ever need it really would be if you had rollover images on the page, which you don't anyway. It's used to preload the images which aren't already embeded within the HTML.

You use it like this, though Dreamweaver would probably add this for you as soon as you added a rollover image.

<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/image2.gif','images/image3.gif','images/image4.gif')">

I took that script from dhtmlcentral, that is exactly how it comes. but now that you mention it, i really should preload my mouseovers. what is the script i would have to add to do that?

Thanks for the help

Take a look at my last post. The second snippet of code is what I would do (www.evergreechristianschool.com/james).
